"Haha, I really didn't expect that I would have such a high-profile argument. This is really great. Now the court is suffering from powerlessness and the emperor's government orders are not implemented. It is indeed a great tragedy. Cao has repeatedly expressed his current shortcomings. He hoped that the princes would hand over great power and let the government orders be unified with the court. However, the power struggle is really too powerful. If you don't say anything else, just say a joke for me. Which princes are the most powerful princes in the world? In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see who else can be there besides me? As long as I am willing to hand over the appointment and removal power of the county and the generals of the army to the court, plus the Yuzhou and Yanzhou controlled by the court, with the huge strength of the court, who dares not accept this world?"

"Hehe, Brother Meng De's words are indeed a joke, and this joke is too big. Who doesn't know that I, Liu He, is a member of the Han royal family. I have been sleeping day and night to revive my ancestors' foundation. Every day, I am trembling, walking on thin ice, and not daring to be negligent. In order to show my loyalty and filial piety, and to block the long-lasting mouths of everyone in the world, I even sent my old father to the court as an official. Who is my old father? If the imperial court does not even believe me, how can I trust the officials of other surnames?"

"I really didn't expect that my brother's literary talent and martial arts are famous all over the world. His eloquence is so brilliant. Cao admired him very much." After hearing Liu He's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaim: "Cao claims to be literary and elegant, and has a clever tongue, but when he sees me, he can only give in to the disadvantage."

When Liu He heard this, he knew that Cao Cao was implicitly sarcastic about his ability to argue with a clever argument. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "Brother Meng De is saying that I can only argue with a clever argument, right? I am not only able to speak eloquently, but what I say is true. It's better for you and I to hand over the troops and seals and hand over all this to the emperor. Is Brother Meng De willing?"

Cao Cao sighed, "This is exactly what Cao wants, but it's not now. After I pacify the world and eliminate the stubbornness, I will definitely take off this burden. Okay, let's talk about the truth. Brother, let's tell the truth. In order to pacify Yuan Shao, I have tried my best to pacify Yuan Shao. Now that I have obtained Yecheng, you have made a mistake. Not only have you obtained Zhongshan, Anping, Qinghe Three Kingdoms and Hanoi, Sheguo, Wu'an, Handan and other counties in vain, but you also want to occupy Yecheng and occupy all the former lands of Yuan Shao. This is a bit too much. Could it be that the soldiers under my command fight to the death and get a vain joy? Brother, you can't do things too well. You have to leave a glimmer of life for others, otherwise the final result will be that no one will be able to live a good life."

Liu He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Meng De's words are wrong. Yecheng is the land of the court. I am the general of the current dynasty and in charge of military affairs in the world. Now you have led troops to attack Yecheng without authorization and have committed a death sentence. I think about the past friendship. It would be great if you don't pursue you. But you still want to destroy the city and the land. This is really unkind. What's more, Yuan Shao is dead now and his family is mourning. At this time, the attack on the city is even more unethical. Therefore, Brother Meng De should listen to his advice and let us withdraw our troops."

"Okay! OK! Brother, you are very good! You are so shameless. Since that's the case, I will sell you a favor, but from then on, your past friendship will be cancelled and your troops will be withdrawn!"

It was not that Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops, but that Liu He is now in great power, with tens of thousands of troops entrenched here, and he seemed to have a very firm attitude. It was very rare for Yecheng to succeed. In addition, the food and grass have been consumed for several days, so he had to refuse to withdraw.

However, Cao Cao has not completely retreated to Hebei now, but has just retreated to Liyang, ready to seize territory at any time. At this time, Cao Cao, no matter what Liu He thinks, was able to grab a county town, and a county town, and if he can grab a county town, it would be a county town. If he doesn't grab it, it would be cheaper for Liu He. Besides, he occupied some counties in Hebei, which is equivalent to having a natural danger of the Yellow River with Liu He. If he is driven to Henan, he will be in trouble. If he wants to come again, it is a natural barrier between the Yellow River and Liu He's defenders!

After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Liu He decided to ride into the city alone to pay his respects to Yuan Shao. After hearing this news, the army was shocked. Even Guo Jia and Xun You felt a little risky, so they all urged Liu He that it was not difficult to capture Ye City. Just wave the flag and the army would immediately attack the city, and it would be able to capture it within ten months. There was no need to take this risk.

However, Liu He said, "How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? Although this time is a bit risky, it has benefited greatly from us. I believe that after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan will definitely not stop and will lead his army to attack. At this time, we can attack Yuan Tan in the name of Yuan Shang and seize the eastern counties. At the same time, we can adopt a soft strategy to slowly conquer Yuan Shang. In this way, the entire Hebei region will fall into my hands. From then on, I will truly be overlord to the princes. Therefore, this adventure is worth it!"

"Since that's the case, the lord can send a thousand Bai Li army to accompany you. This will not only show the lord's sincerity, but also avoid danger." Xun You, who was standing beside him, reminded him.

Liu He said in a deep voice: "Gongda, you should be able to think that if I command a thousand Baili soldiers into the city, although it would not be dangerous, would Yuan Shang still trust me? Especially Shen Pei, this person is not a fool. If I brought the soldiers in, it proves that I am wary of Yecheng, and why am I wary of? I am not sincere, so if I go to Yecheng, I will go to Yecheng in vain."

Xun You was stunned because he did think of what Liu He said, but he didn't want Liu He to take risks.

Liu He naturally saw Xun You and others' concerns, and smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry. The fewer people go there this time, the safer I will be. Besides, have you forgotten? I have mastered the magic of immortals, so don't worry, I will never be surprised this time, and that's all, I will let Yuan Shang regard me as a guest of honor."

"That's true. Which woman doesn't like beauty? For example, Awu from my family has been many times..." Xun You suddenly stopped talking because he found that he had actually missed his mouth.

At this time, Liu He slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "I forgot this. I'm so sorry. Tonight, I'll invite all the civil and military officials to come. I will use immortal techniques for them to restore their youthful appearance."

"This, this, thank you lord!"

"Thank you, lord. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, and I will never refuse!"

When the civil and military officials heard Liu He's words, they were excited to thank him. It was not that they cared about their wives' appearance, but because of this, their wives and concubines had already said this more than once, but they were unwilling to bother Liu He with such a small matter, so they were very annoyed every day. Now that Liu He took the initiative to solve this problem, they finally didn't have to worry about it anymore.
